This one was removed by the apparent owners of the Packard Plant, right? Here's what they have to say about their property:

"Today the plant is considered the largest abandoned industrial site in the country. It is a massive 40 acres of industrial space, and it's basically open for thieves, scrappers, squatters, urbanists, and graffiti artists to frequent."

This better be a joke. Whoever's "selling" a piece of a wall knows damn well it doesn't belong to them.
I know the "I remember when this was all trees" piece was removed, but I don't know about the birdcage.

I don't know that these people are the owners of the site, so to say that is what "they" say about "their" property isn't quite accurate.

I wonder if these are reproductions? You would think that others would have been discovered at the same time. Or maybe they were, and dismantled brick by brick by others. I don't know the circumstances of the painting of these, and totally unverifiable, not to mention not worth 75K.

Someone breaks into a foreclosed home in Bloomfield Hills, steals the granite countertops, then lists them on Ebay to sell, and declares the street address of the house they were pried from so everyone knows it's wide open.

Then when asked why he stole the granite countertop, he says it was to protect it from being stolen by scrappers.

Now would be the time for some smart person to Use the publicity and controversy to make a gallery out of the site. Imagine cleaning it enuff to be safe but leaving it pretty much as is as a outdoor gallery like setting. Sculptures, murals, fountains .... of course it would have to be secured, and yes Im just a dumb creative type and ready for all the reasons "why not to"....Just dreaming and talking aloud

Remember way back when the "owner" chopped the entry doors and lintels off the facade and sold them ? Well who the hell said they could sell parts of the building, any more than a chopped spray painting ? Do you get to do these things simply by hiring private security and helping yourself, while declaring yourself "owner for a day" ?

Only to run and hide under a rock when the tax bill comes or a fire breaks out. . . . .

I did. And I sent the guy a message. I think we all should. It's ridiculous. And not that I am in love with Bansky. it's just really ridiculous that someone would try to sell a stolen wall with graffiti on it.

BTW after this birdcage was taken I think banksy did come back, or someone that does similar work and paint a few more according to this guys pictures. but who knows... ***These are not my pictures***

I agree with what has been said about auxionjunction perhaps not being the legal owner of the piece, and with the destruction of the piece by virtue of its removal, but I don't agree that the piece is necessarily overvalued. Banksy's stuff is pretty cool on its own, and this is a piece out of the Packard plant - which may not be the Israeli security barrier, but it's not just a random London street corner either, there's a whole story to tell there, with parts that put the canary in a whole new light (as has been mentioned). I don't have the $75k to spend, and if I did, I wouldn't spend it on art work, but you've got to figure the art market as a whole would be intrigued.
